      Props extended to David Lachowicz and his associates for delivering a creatively executed web site and forum platform for a non-profit, public policy group. The finished product was responsive to the concept communicated, creatively designed, and timely executed.

Christine goes all in for her clients, coming up with unique ways to get attention. I always thought businesses that were in the press all the time were just “lucky”, but I’ve now come to realize that they are successful because they have Christine by their side. Christine is a ninja, she does her job so well that the public doesn’t even know she’s there. Can’t recommend Poster Consulting enough!

We collaborated on a phased approach that allowed us to quickly launch an initial site with our updated brand and new products while designing additional pages and a modified structure for later publication. We needed a site that was well designed site that represented our brand while providing the flexibility to update, and create new pages.

The King Willy team spent time with us to better understand our brand, company culture and ultimately the look, feel, + vibe of what we were hoping to share with the public on our website.

How do top PR firms in the USA secure media coverage and build long-term momentum?

American PR firms secure media coverage and sustain momentum through a structured, repeatable process that combines strategy, execution, and relationship management. 

  • Narrative development: Defining a clear, newsworthy story that aligns brand goals with what journalists write about, ensuring relevance rather than promotional messaging. 
  • Proof-point assembly: Gathering customer outcomes, data, executive credibility, and third-party validation to support claims. 
  • Media mapping: Identifying journalists and media outlets based on beat, audience fit, and past coverage. 
  • Angle creation: Adapting the core narrative into timely, outlet-specific angles tied to trends, news hooks, or audience pain points. 
  • Pitching cadence: Sending pitches in controlled waves to avoid inbox fatigue while maintaining steady visibility across priority publications. 
  • Follow-ups and refinement: Using thoughtful follow-ups to clarify relevance or provide a new context rather than repeat the same message. 
  • Reactive opportunities: Monitoring breaking news and journalist requests to insert expert commentary quickly, compounding coverage between major campaigns. 
  • Relationship building and iteration: Earning trust through reliability and relevance—relationships can open doors, but newsworthiness still drives results.

What’s the difference between a B2B public relations agency and a B2C PR firm?

B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) PR firms differ based on audience, buying cycle, and media focus. 

B2B PR agency 

B2B PR targets niche decision makers and long buying cycles, with coverage focused on industry and trade publications. Messaging relies on proof points like ROI, case studies, and expertise, with indirect conversion goals tied to pipeline influence and a steady, lower volume cadence. 

B2C PR firm 

Consumer PR targets broad audiences and shorter buying cycles, emphasizing mainstream media, lifestyle outlets, and creators. Storytelling is emotion-led and trend-driven, with clearer near-term conversion expectations such as traffic or sales and a faster, campaign-based cadence. 

When should I hire a PR company instead of handling PR in-house?

Brands should decide between an agency and in-house PR based on scale, speed, and risk tolerance. 

Hire a PR company if: 

  • You need rapid scale or intensive campaign support that exceeds internal bandwidth. 
  • You want immediate access to established media relationships across top-tier and niche outlets. 
  • You are planning a high-stakes launch, funding round, rebrand, or market expansion. 
  • You need crisis readiness or a 24/7 response capability that in-house teams cannot sustain. 
  • You operate in a complex or regulated industry that requires specialized PR expertise. 
  • You want an external perspective to sharpen positioning and messaging. 

Keep it in-house if: 

  • PR needs are steady, predictable, and limited in scope. 
  • Your team already has strong media relationships in your core category. 
  • Campaign intensity is low and tied mainly to internal updates or announcements. 
  • Budget constraints favor salaried roles over agency retainers. 
  • You prioritize deep institutional knowledge over broad external reach.
